POF and PCF fiber optic cables

For configuring optical networks, glass fiber-optic cables are used for
long distances, while plastic fiber-optic cables made from
light-conducting plastics (POF) or plastic-coated glass fibers (PCF)
are used for short distances.

Simple fiber-optic cabling directly at the machine is
implemented using the SC RJ connection system for Polymer Optic Fiber
and Polymer Cladded Fiber.

In order to ensure high availability, the cables are monitored
during commissioning and runtime for any attenuation resulting from
material aging.
